Aug 6, 2021
At the July Monthly Meeting, Darren reminded us that the State Leadership team wants all volunteers to try to meet their Volunteering and Continuing Education requirements for 2021. The State Leadership team understands that COVID-19 has restricted many of our regular activities but we all recognize that many other volunteering options are available. Volunteers should be able to find adequate numbers of hours.
No volunteer will be punished for failing to complete their requirements by the end of 2021.
